If you think that this year’s schedule is an exception to the rule that has applied to the Rangers for nearly six decades, you are correct.
Because other than the 2013-14 season in which the Garden was undergoing its extensive reconstruction; the 1994-95 and 2012-13 seasons in which lockouts delayed the start of the season until January; and the 2020-21 season in which the pandemic postponed the opener also until January, the Rangers’ two games at the Garden this October represents the fewest since 1966-67, when they played two at the old building on 49th and 50th between Eighth and Ninth.
The Rangers haven’t faced that issue. So, for instance, in 2017-18, the Blueshirts played a staggering 10 games at home in October, nearly one quarter of the schedule.An early-season schedule heavy with road games will give the Rangers plenty of opportunities to do the bonding Peter Laviolette wants for the team.It’s been common over the past couple of decades for the club to face an imbalance of home vs.
I’m not big at all on fixating on salaries and cap hits versus performance. Once contracts are done, they are done.Chris Kreider, Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad lead a power-play unit whose consistency has not lived up to its hefty price tag.It needs to be better than seventh. Yes, power plays can be notoriously streaky. This one sure has been. The Rangers are going to need more consistency and fewer valleys.
